Port Arthur.

The prosperous commercial port, although it has reached the cold winter wax moon, but this ice-free port in southern Liaoning still does not stop, and the merchant ships continue to come and go.

Li Mi likes the seafood here, all kinds of seafood are always very fresh, every morning, the fishing boat enters the port, and always brings back a lot of fresh seafood.

After he arrived in Lushun from Donglai Port, he stayed here for a long time.

From the original overlord of the Central Plains, Wei Gong, suddenly became an idler, Li Mi was still unaccustomed to it at first, but slowly got used to it.

I slept until noon every day, and after washing, I took Wang Bodang and a few other students to the old department, under the 'escort' of a team of Qin soldiers, to the beach to buy some seafood with fishermen, and then visit the market of Port Arthur.

Then find a tea restaurant, give the seafood you bought to the store, and let him process it for you. Go up to the second floor, find a seat with a wide view, order a good pot of tea, and call a newspaper reader.

While drinking tea, I listened to the newspaper reader reading the newspaper, and there was always all kinds of news on it. Now there are several newspapers here in Lushun, the general newspaper is published every ten days, and the largest newspaper called Oriental News is published every five days.

Oriental News is the most authoritative, a government-run newspaper, which was first founded by Luo Cheng and is now said to be managed by the secretary of Daqin.

Other newspapers are both public and private, and their circulation scale is large or small, and they are generally sold using a well-developed postal system. These newspapers are very smart, they are staggered with Oriental News, and even in terms of content, they are slowly staggering their own directions.

For example, this Oriental News focuses on current affairs news in the world, and is known as the fastest, most complete and most accurate news. Some other newspapers, some of which focus on some poems and songs, and some other content, have gained a lot of customers in this way.

Li Mi doesn't like to read the newspaper by himself, he prefers to listen to the newspaper.

Drinking tea and listening to the newspaper, the tea is brewed green tea, because the emperor loves to drink this kind of tea, so many people are now switching to drinking tea in this way, but the sencha in the past, now there are fewer in the teahouse.

Just as the current emperor likes Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, many scholars have changed to Wang Shusheng's style.

If you drink too much of this kind of brewed green tea with nothing added, you will gradually like this slightly bitter and sweet taste.

"Li Jiancheng Shaanxi County was defeated, 200,000 were gone, Li Yuan panicked, and wanted to move the capital to Nanzheng in a panic."

Hearing this latest news, Li Mi let out a long sigh.

Who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly.

I think what a scene he had when he entered Xingyang and just broke through Xingluocang. A few years have passed in a flash, and now he has been defeated and surrendered to Qin, Wang Shichong has been defeated and surrendered to Tang, and now even Li Yuan, the king of Tang, has been defeated under Luo Cheng's army.

Fighting back and forth, no one fought for Henan, and no one fought for Luo Cheng.

"Today's tea doesn't seem to taste right."

The tea master, who was nicknamed Dr. Tea, was busy and said apologetically, "The Longjing tea you usually like to drink is out of stock, and it was delayed in Shandong, so today I replaced the guest with Qingdao Yunwu tea." ”

Li Mi frowned.

"Isn't there anything at all?"

"I'm so sorry."

Li Mi waved his hand.

"Today's registration is good, there are no mispronunciations, and I should be rewarded."

So there was an entourage to take out a silver tiger and throw it out, the one who read the newspaper was a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, he was a student in Lushun County College, reading the newspaper was just to come out to study hard to earn some living expenses, after all, he was just a child of an ordinary family, it was not easy to go to the county school, although the county school was subsidized, but he also wanted to send some money to the family.

"Thank you."

The young man was dressed in a white robe and still patched, but he was very simple, and his speech was neither humble nor arrogant, and he picked up the silver dragon and thanked him.

"A silver dragon, just a word of thanks, really proud."

Li Mi didn't care about this, "Luo Cheng took Henan, and there is no opponent in the world." ”

"Since Li Yuan's army is defeated, then Luo Cheng should attack the next step, right?"

"Not necessarily, I think it's more likely to attack Hedong first."

In Li Mi's opinion, no matter how Luo Cunxiao successfully won Henan, after all, now Daqin is stuck by Dou Jiande's Hebei and Yang Yichen's Hedong, and is divided into two disconnected parts, which is always a hidden danger.

Wang Bodang said a little impatiently, "Since Luo Cheng has already conferred the title of Taichangqing on the teacher before, why has he always let the teacher stay in Lushun now?" ”

Li Mi didn't know that his current identity was very embarrassing, although after he surrendered to Qin, he was knighted and conferred an official, but he was told that he was temporarily waiting for someone from Beijing to take him into the court, but this person never came.

He didn't know what Luo Cheng's intentions were.

Another corner of the Bohai Sea.

Beijing and Shuntianfu under Yanshan.

It was a light and breezy day, and the New Year was approaching, but the emperor was parading his troops and horses in the suburbs of Beijing.

There were 100,000 horses and horses participating in the reading, the Zhongwu Army and the Zhongxiao Army, and then the two newly formed feudal armies, the Huaihua Army and the Guide Army.

The four armies are majestic and mighty.

After the emperor personally reviewed the four armies, he led the Zhongwu Army and the Huaihua Army to march south, while the Zhongxiao Army and the Gui German Army stayed behind to guard the Beijing Division.

The crown prince Jiawen supervised the country, and the crown prince Zhang Xutuo, the crown prince and the prince Qu Tutong, and the crown prince Zhou Dewei were responsible for staying behind and assisting. Shangshu's left servant shot Hou Mo Chen Yi, Shangshu's right servant shot Du Ruhui, Zhongshu waiter Fang Xuanling, and his subordinate servant Wei Zheng were responsible for presiding over the government.

When Luo Cunxiao, the king of Wei, defeated Li Jiancheng's army, many ministers in the court thought that the emperor did not need to conquer Taiyuan in person, as long as he chose a general to take command.

But the emperor still did not change his plans.

For the young emperor, no matter whether the fourth child defeated Henan or not, or whether he defeated Li Yuan's soldiers and horses in the Eastern Expedition, he would launch this battle of Taiyuan as planned.

This battle is of great significance, and we must do our best.

······

Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Li Shimin hurriedly stepped up his horse, left behind the 80,000 soldiers and horses heading south, and only led more than 100 guards to gallop south.

He wanted to return to Chang'an immediately and prevent the imperial court from moving the capital.

In the city of Chang'an.

Li Yuan was holding a bloody sword in his hand, he had just personally cut off the heads of Yin Shishi and Gu Yi, the two ministers who had assisted Wei Wensheng in staying in Guanzhong, and conspired to rebel.

Leaks.

After Li Yuan learned the information, he did not show the slightest mercy, and immediately sent troops to arrest all the people involved in the case, and directly executed them without interrogation.

He even cut off the heads of the Yin Master and the Bone Ritual with his own hands.

Weishui Riverside.

More than 3,000 rebel officials, generals, and their families were put to death, and the river was stained red.

If you don't kill, you can't do it, if you don't kill it, the position will be unstable.

Especially in this eventful time.

"Prime Minister, great victory, Zhao Guogong Shallow Water Plains great victory!"

By the Weishui River, a great victory made Li Yuan, who was originally worried, brows stretch.

"It's still Erlang, his victory saved us."

Li Yuan was overjoyed, but when Li Jiancheng heard this good news, especially after hearing his father's words, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He was defeated in Hongnong, losing more than 100,000 soldiers, and he couldn't imagine that Erlang Shimin, who had been defeated once in Shallow Water Plains last time, only tens of thousands of people this time, could withstand the siege of Xue Rengao's 200,000 army, and even turned defeat into victory and reported a great victory?

In this way, he, the prince of Tang Wang, also seems too incompetent.
